What can we learn from historical logbooks? Far more than routes and wind directions. Looking forward to our roundtable at the conference “Navigating Histories” at the German Maritime Museum to explore logbooks as sources for climate, mobility & global history #earlymodern #history #maritimehistory

Four Portraits of roundtable participants in front of blue background, with logos of German Maritime Museum and Leibniz – title and date of the event: Navigating Logbooks: Tracing Histories, Data, and Meaning at Sea 1600-1900. Portraits of speakers Rohland, Kaiser, Karstens, Haasis.

The ship papers of the Prize Papers Collection housed in the National Archives are valuable sources for tracing the capture history during the European expansion. This example includes delicate drawings of a topsail schooner. Funded by #zukunftniedersachsen #DiViAS #prizepapers

A 3D ship model of the Bremen ship CONCORDIA – captured 1758 – is currently in development in close cooperation with Oliver Urrea from Flinders University. The model is based on historical documents from the @prizepapers.bsky.social as well as historical ship models. #earlymodern #maritimehistory 🗃️

Together with researchers and records specialists of the National Archives and @prizepapers.bsky.social, we facilitated a workshop where we discussed digitisation processes and potentials of digital humanities to engage with the printed appeal papers in record series HCA 45 and PCAP 6.

Our researchers presented at #LeLa25 their work on transcriptions, analysis and reconstruction of shipping routes and let participants try a dashboard created by master students using AI extraction.

During #Dhd2025 in Bielefeld, DiViAS researchers held a workshop on spatiotemporal uncertainty and how to visualise movement data of the Gunboat Albatroß's (1886) with QGIS.

Developments in #3D-digitisation pave the way for new approaches to researching museum and archival objects that aren't possible to achieve with conventional 2D methods. In our workshop, experts from the humanities and technical sciences came together to address questions around #materiality.

How can objects held in European museums be made accessible to the #Tlingit in Alaska? What role can #3D-digitisation play? We were honoured to welcome representatives of the Tlingit community, Joe Zuboff & Garfield George, researchers and museum professionals at the State Museum Nature and Human.

I’ll be sharing evidence of some of my favourite figures from this project— a wealthy young South Asian woman and a poetry-loving carpenter whose paths seem to have crossed at sea. Please join us! (9am EST)

The case study “Movement in Space and Time” analyses early modern movements in the context of European expansion with the use of AI tools (NLP, LLMs). The transdisciplinary research traces maritime shipping routes and the provenance of museum objects from colonial contexts.

Exciting times ahead! Today our research students received an introduction to @transkribus.bsky.social from Frank Marquardt and will now be using it regularly for their work and research. Transkribus is a very helpful tool if you work with documents in at least 19 languages. #earlymodern #history 🗃️

Group picture. Frank Marquardt (black shirt in the back) and Kristin Langefeld (blue shirt) in Prize Papers seminar room with our research students, slides in the background (saying "Prize Papers Project meet Transkribus"), happy students.

Had a great time visiting the National Archives in London where I had a look at some logbooks from the American War of Independence #earlymodern #history 📦 Thank you @lhaasis.bsky.social for the continuing support!
